17 digit VIN numbers are for modern bikes. You may have a 4L0-******. Sometimes the DVLA ignore the - and you may get a negative result, this happens a lot.A photo of the VIN number is not neccessary. All you need to do is contact our dating officer here with your chassis number and he can do the rest. With any luck he will be able to issue you with the original reg no.

So if i had the frame and engine numbers for a bike i recently bought but no v5 would i get the original registration from the seventies eventually or a new age related plate, providing the frame and engine numbers match of course?? Would this cost the £12 for club + £55 to the DVLA. {looking at a 400 local to me which is a jigsaw, that is as described above and trying to gauge how much paperwork would cost to reg it}

OKFirst thing you must do is see it it is registered with DVLA.I can arrange a DVLA check for £5.,

If it is then it will cost you £25 to apply for a new V5.

If it is not then you must apply for a age related registration number.This will cost £12.50 for a dating certifcate as your a club member, plus £55 first registraion fee, road tax, MOT on the frame number and insurance will be needed before DVLA will register the bike.

So thebike will need to be roadworthy before you do this.

So the DVLA match the engine and frame numbers to a registration if they have it in their records? Am i correct in thinking the frame and engine numbers should match, then it's fairly straight forward [providing it's in the DVLA records] if not it's the longer and more expensive route?

Surely to insure a motor vehicle you need to give the insurance company the registration number before they would insure it but that would not be possible in the second [longer] route would it not?? A sorta catch 22?
